Smith.Still a teenager,she's already creating fantastic dishes.She's alsobecoming well known for her Italian salad dressing,which is delicious.And with her knowledge of social media (媒体),she's making sure that everyone knows she's here!Remmi,who was born in China,now lives in the USA.She is just16.She has already starred in two shows on cooking and her book of healthy recipes has recently come

two-mile race is smooth.Other parts of the race have the challenge of obstacles(障碍).When racers reach them,they can ride over them,or pick up their bikes and run.To be a top racer,you must dismount without slowing down at all.To do this,swing your right leg over the bike seat.At the same time,move the bike away from your body.This makes room for your right foot to hit the ground next to your left foot.As your right foot nears the ground,take your left foot away from the bike.Put both feet on the ground and start running!As soon as you are running,you have to decide what to do with your bike.You may shoulder it or lift it.It's important to practice both skills.Sometimes you need to run fast and jump over some obstacles.As your feet hit the ground,you reach down and catch the bottom of your bike.Lift up carefully and keep the bike on your right shoulder while you run.Sometimes you may lift your bike.You catch the top of your bike.Then you lift the bike high enough to get over the obstacles and carefully put the bike on the ground.After you have carried your bike across an obstacle,you will need to remount.As soon as your bike is on the ground,push off with your left leg,swing your right leg over the bike seat,and move into riding position. Remounting can be the hardest skill of cyclocross.You can learn by watching someone who remounts well.Cyclocross is a great way to stay active and have fun.However,it can be dangerous.Make sure that you are well prepared.Then,you will just need to go!8．What can we learn about cyclocross from the text?A．It's a no-obstacle bike race.B．It's a cross-city bike race.C．It's a challenging bike race.D．It's a dangerous running race.9．What does the underlined word"dismount"in paragraph2mean?A．Pick up a bike.B．Get off a bike.C．Get back on a bike.D．Practice riding a bike.10．Why does a racer have to shoulder a bike in a race?A．To jump over obstacles.B．To take care of the bike.C．To make room for others.D．To hit the ground harder.11．What is the text mainly about?A．The skills of cyclocross racing.B．The history of cyclocross racing.C．The records of cyclocross racing.D．The popularity of cyclocross racing.阅读理解We all enjoy being part of a group-there's no better work than teamwork,right?Actually,I disagree. Teamwork can be hard.In fact,it was so difficult that I left my office job and started working from home on my own.It's a much better fit for me,and it has made me think about why teamwork can make our jobs harder rather than easier.Personalities(个性)can make teamwork difficult.There's often someone on the team that puts their needs first.The team often goes along with this person,whose ideas might not be the best,just the loudest.Just one difficult personality can make teamwork bine(结合)several challenging personality types,and it's even harder.Not having enough time together can also make teamwork challenging.For example,I was once on a team where we never had enough time to meet as a group.To successfully work as a team,you need time together-and lots of it.A final reason teamwork is difficult is because there's often no training on how to work on a team.You can't just put people in a room and expect them to work well with each other.You need to build trust with your team members.Think of football players:They aren't just given a ball and told to play.They practice,and they train.Team can be hard,but working alone has its challenges,too.When my computer doesn't work,I don't have an IT person to turn to.When I have a great idea,I don't have anyone to share it with to see if it really is a great idea.Don't get me wrong-I still like my team of one and enjoy making all of the important decisions myself.But now I realize what was wrong with the teamwork I did in the past and how good teamwork could be if done correctly.And that's useful information-because one day I might want to turn my ME TEAM into a WE TEAM. 12．Why did the writer choose to work from home on his own?A．To keep himself busier.B．To keep himself healthier.C．To make his job easier.D．To make his team harder.13．Which of the following makes teamwork difficult?A．Strong personality.B．Lots of teamwork time.C．Challenging ideas.D．Clear team roles.14．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．WE TEAM has hardly any advantages.B．ME TEAM needs a lot of IT engineers.C．ME TEAM has no challenges for the writer.D．WE TEAM may be the writer's choice one day.15．What is the purpose of the text?A．To show the advantages of teamwork.B．To tell the importance of teamwork.C．To introduce the influence of teamwork.D．To explain the difficulties of teamwork.二、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）下面文章中有五处需要添加小标题。

Here are some very interesting answers to this question.Alphorns （阿尔卑斯长号角）were once used to communicate in the mountains in Switzerland. They are very long and they are very heavy, too. So, alphorns are hard work to blow. Then why use them? Well, they make a loud sound which travels much further than the human voice. Herdsmen （牧民）used them to call cows in the distance for milking. At sunset, alphorns were also used to send a message down to villagers that all was well. These days, they're mostly used as musical instruments.The people of La Gomera, an island in Europe, have their own special way of sending messages from mountain to mountain. They use a whistled （口哨的）language called el silbo which comes from their language Spanish. Whistling can be heard within five kilometers, which means it can be used across much greater distances than shouting. El silbo can be used for all kinds of messages, including greetings and announcements. El silbo is used a lot less than it used to be, but primary school students in La Gomera have to learn it.Did you know it's also possible to send messages without making a noise? This is called visual communication, and it includes the use of flags and even smoke. Long ago, soldiers along the Great Wall of China used smoke as a warning. If they noticed the enemy from their signal（信号）tower, they lit a smoky fire. When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke signal, they lit fires too. In this way, messages about the enemy's arrival could travel as far as 800 km in just a few hours.4．What are alphorns mostly used for today?A．Communicating in the mountains.B．Calling cows for milking.C．Sending messages down to villagers.D．Playing a kind of music.5．Why do the people of La Gomera use el silbo to communicate?A．Because it can send messages to animals.B．Because it is different from their language.C．Because it can be heard at a great distance.D．Because it is a subject for young students.6．How did soldiers along the Great Wall get warning messages between towers?A．By listening.B．By whistling.C．By shouting.D．By watching.7．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (P = Paragraph)A．B．C．D．阅读理解Can anyone be an astronaut?Of course not. You don't have to have a science degree but most astronauts do. Most of them are pilots too. Lifein a spaceship is hard so you must have a healthy body and mind. You need to be easy-going, patient, and helpful to spend so much time in a small space with other people.What's the training like?People have to train for a year to learn how to stay healthy and safe. They practise space walking and living in zero gravity （重力）. They train in difficult conditions to learn how to solve problems and to work in a team. Everyday tasks like eating, washing and sleeping can be difficult on a spaceship. There is no running water so you have to wash with wet tissues; it's hard to enjoy the dry food that astronauts have to eat. And to sleep you must cover your eyes because the sun rises every 90 minutes on the International Space Station. You also have to tie yourself to something so you don't fly away!What health problems do astronauts have?Life in zero gravity causes changes to our bodies. Bones and muscles （肌肉）become thin and weak so you must do a lot of exercise in space to stay fit and to help the heart move blood around your body. Astronauts often get backache because you grow in space—up to 8 centimeters! It's also common to have headaches and to feel sick, especially at the beginning. You must have vitamins to take the place of fresh fruit and vegetables. But you don't have to put on sun cream because space suits protect your skin（皮肤）.Are you still interested?So now you know. If you want to go to space, study hard, learn to fly and take care of your body and mind. 8．What is a must for an astronaut?A．A science degree.B．A pilot's license.C．A healthy body and mind.D．A weak character.9．What must you do to prepare for a space trip?A．Experience zero gravity.B．wash with running water.C．Practise long walks.D．Sleep with your eyes open.10．Why do astronauts have to exercise in space?A．To make their bones and muscles thinner.B．To help the heart work well and keep fit.C．To avoid backache and grow much taller.D．To stop their skins from getting sunburned.11．What is the text mainly about?A．What we need to know to become an astronaut.B．Why young people are interested in space trips.C．What problems astronauts must solve in space.D．Why we need to train hard before a space trip.阅读理解There are many different ways to solve a problem. One way is to be creative. People often think creative thinking is just for artists and designers, but this is not true. Dr. Edward de Bono, an expert in creative thinking and problemsolving, has shown the world that using creativity to solve problems is very useful in business and in our communities, and will continue to be so in the future.One example of creative thinking is the solution to a parking problem in a town center. In the areas close to stores, people can only park for 20 minutes. There are parking meters where people pay to park in these areas. However, the problem is that many people leave their cars there for longer than 20 minutes. Dr. Edward de Bono's solution is to make a rule that all cars parked in these areas must keep their headlights on. Of course, drivers will want to return to their cars before their car batteries （蓄电池）die.According to Dr. de Bono, people will need to use creative thinking more often in the future. To help people think more creatively, he designed the "Six Thinking Hat" system （系统）. The system helps people think about a problem in different ways in order to find a solution. In the system, there are six imaginary hats of different colors. Each hat symbolizes a different way of thinking. For example, the white hat helps people consider the facts. The black hat is the most logical （有逻辑的）and helps people consider why a possible solution may not work. So, next time you have a problem in your community, think about it creatively, from different perspectives, and see what ideas you have.12．What is the topic of the text?A．Being a creative artist in the community.B．Doing business successfully in the future.C．Asking experts for some useful advice.D．Using creative thinking to solve problems.13．Why is the example mentioned in Paragraph 2?A．To express a result.B．To describe a problem.C．To support the topic.D．To list some numbers.14．What does the underlined word "perspectives" in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Ways.B．Places.C．People.D．Rules.15．Which of the following is true about the "Six Thinking Hats" system?A．The system is used to help people think quickly.B．The white hat helps people think about the facts.C．The black hat has to do with people's feelings.D．Six hats of different shapes can be very helpful.二、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）下面文章中有五处需要添加小标题。
